Easton realized not all batters are created equal. A bat that fits your style of play is what matters most on todays competetive travel teams. The Easton XL line up of bats features longer barrels and bigger sweet spots. Expect to see about a 2" increase in sweet spot with an XL2 over the lighter, Speed oriented S2 bat. The Easton XL2 youth baseball bat has a composite handle and scandium alloy barrel. Black Carbon composite in the handle gives the batter a smooth, buttery feeling when hitting the ball, all but eliminating sting and vibration, while the sandium alloy is loud, durable, and has a massive sweet spot. All Easton Power Brigade baseball bats come with a 400 day warranty from Easton. This bat is approved for 1.15 USSSA play.
